Yang Yi Ru is a workaholic who never had time to take a break. Her family and friends decided to pull a prank on her to slow her down. They conned her into believing she only had six months to live, then packed her off to a vacation spot to clear her mind. She spent her first day on a sunny beach lamenting to a stranger that she wished she had the time to meet Mr. Right, get married and have kids. Unbeknownst to her, the stranger was a man from her past who was in love with her when they met years ago. He proposed to her the next day and she married him, but when the prank was revealed, her new husband felt cheated and unleashed his wrath on her.
Lan Shi-de is a tall, handsome and successful young man who manages his family bathroom fixture business, but he is also cold, impatient and hot tempered who hates being deceived because he was betrayed by former employees in the past. He makes sure there is retribution to anyone who crosses him. The only soft spot in his life is his family (which consists of his grandmother, mother, older sister, aunt) and the pretty girl who lent him a pen during his final college exam. He cannot forget the girl that lent him a pen and has been searching for her for 6 years. Not knowing her name or who she is the only memory he has of her is a fuzzy image in a picture he keeps on his desk at home and the pen he never got the chance to return to her.
Yang Yi-ru is a hardworking workaholic who basically runs the entire advertising company she works for due to her boss and co-workers always depending on her for everything. To make matters worse her boss is a womanizer who also happens to be her ex-boyfriend that is treated like a member of the family by her father and younger sister. Her boss and family con her into taking an actual vacation during her work break by faking her medical exam saying she has cancer and only 6 months to live. They pack her off on a trip to sunny Boracay, Philippines telling her to take some time to relax.
